Fair criticism, although the larger discussion thread this garnered earlier this year was an interesting read. Over +300 comments:

How does "major version upgrades" make it into the "so-so" category? This is one of the best (long term) features of NixOS, since stuff does not really break, you can easily test it with VM tests. What he describes in this seciton is that plasma 6 didn't make it into that "stable" version of NixOS... but it'd be the same on any other distro, more or less?
